interest of four members of the British
Parliament, who are in this country for the
purpose of working up feeling in behalf
of the idea Of entering into a treaty with
England by which all disputes between that
nation and the United States shall
be settled by arbitration. The
meeting was presided over by
Hon Thomas II. Dudley, and the speakers
were Messrs. w. r. Creamer and H. w.
Stewart both members of the House of
Commons Before the meetlug had pro-
ceeded far it was very apparent that two
thirds present were Irish sympathizers, and
when the usual resolutions were read the
following was offered by Thomas p Curley,
and adopted along with the others;
Resolued That we earnestly urge that the
principles of arbitration be adopted by England
in the settlement of the difficulties between
that country and down-trodden Ireland, be-
lieving as we do that the method will result in
speedy correction of the shameful abuses that
are being heaped upon the defenseless Irish
tenants under cover of an iniqutious coercion
